Cinemax to Launch Hunted Spin-off with Melissa George

Sam Hunter will feature George reprising her role as agent Sam, who's now on the run from her former employer. The four-hour miniseries will find Sam working as a freelance spy as she protects her daughter and tries to figure out how the people who want her dead are tied to her mother's murder.

Hunted was not renewed by BBC, a partner on the project, after its first season. The series drew solid ratings when it debuted in October, so Cinemax was looking for a way to extend the series by launching a spin-off.
